I am in love with my dehydrator. I had been gathering wild onions ( traveling onions given to me by a Native American Airbnb guest ) and rather than toss the very ends, I decided to dry them. I added wood sorrel, green garlic tops, and then thought, " I can add as many garlic and onion leaves as I want... they will just keep producing anyways, so I took my scissors to the garden and just lopped some off, leaving the bulbs and a large portion of green leaves to continue their growth. I also added a lot of oregano, both Greek and Italian, that I have growing in the garden. In the past I also threw in some lemon grass as well. A few hours in the dehydrator, a second or two in the blender and I have my own 'no salt' mix. In the past I have also added a few other wild greens like lambs quarters, purslane. but only a little as I want the flavors of the herbs to come through but for cooking soups and such, it is nice to have the extra vitamins/minerals offered by the greens.
